The Nebuta Museum WA-RASSE is a facility that introduces the history and charms of the Aomori Nebuta Festival. At the museum you can experience every aspect of the festival.
On display are 4 full-sized floats that participated in the festival in August, and Nebuta Faces that show the individuality of their respective creators.

We offer a “Haneto” experience, where you can try dancing to the Hayashi music like a Haneto dancer. You can also try your hand at playing the taiko drums used in the festival.

Footage of the exhibited Nebuta floats participating in the parade is projected onto a large screen.
Screening times: First screening at 9:30, then on every subsequent hour on the hour from 10:00 am (running time:10 mins.)

You can learn all about the history of the festival, and see how the techniques and styles used in creating the floats has changed over the years.
